“As we had my 94 yearold stepmother ...”

As we had my 94 yearold stepmother with us it would have been useful to know that the property was not useful for someone with limited mobility. We also were not aware of the configuration of the rooms particularly that the only room with single beds had a bedroom on its mezzanine floor.

“Truly wonderful in every way”

This barn has the wow factor as soon as you drive through the gate. The house is beautiful as are the gardens and views that surround it. We entered the property to be greeted with fresh fruit, a bottle of bubbles and a very cute cuddly dog that was ours to take.The rooms are modern, stylish and in some areas extravagant but this is exactly want we wanted, a weekend of luxury. The hot tub is an added extra and was used everyday. I would recommend this place to anyone, friends, family, young and old. You do need to get over the rough track that leads up to the house but to be honest this just caused many giggles. You can't see another property and every view is of green fields and the local farm animals. You would need to do your own shop as I doubt you would find anyone to deliver but I could be wrong, but once you arrive you really won't want to leave. Communication throughout the booking was smooth and we were given very clear instructions. We also needed to make contact during our stay and we received a text message back straight away. We are a group of friends celebrating our 40th birthdays and now want to make it an annual trip.

“Amazing weekend”

I have just returned from Bookiler Barn with a group of 11 friends to celebrate my birthday. It was absolutely amazing. The barn is immaculate and has some gorgeous furnishings. A massive lounge and dining table to accommodate us all and it's so peaceful. We had a fabulous time in the hot tub which is in the barn opposite the house and had room for those who don't want to go in to sit together. A lovely welcome pack as well. Haven't stayed anywhere as beautiful for a long time. Would definitely return. Only thing to be ready for is the long lane to get to it!

“Amazing”

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Bookilber Barn for my best friends hen do! Where do I start... as soon as we walked in we was blown away the place is incredible we couldn't believe we would be staying here for 3 nights how lucky are We! The decor and attention to detail are out of this world. I think we all stood there in amazement it was fabulous. The track down the the barn was a little rocky and a bit long but thatbwas definitely forgotten once we arrived. The house has everything you need so you really could stay there and never leave. The bedrooms are all equally as amazing and the views are breath taking. The hot tub was great fun! There is a beaubeautiful bbq area and seating area where you can have out for miles. I would definitely recommend this place for all occasions it really is a hidden gem! I have alteady enquired about returning. The barn also offer activities to come to the barn for example a chef, beautician, cocktail making class etc. It rrally is perfect. We thank the barn for making the hen weekend do special. X

“Fabulous place - leave the world behind in this beautiful remote hidden jewel.”

We had an absolutely fabulous time. If you like to be away from the crowds this is the place to go - no one for miles. Such a jewel and so glad we found this place. Great bedrooms - fabulous facilities. The home everyone wishes they could live in simple great. Lovely walks and great scenery all around . Relaxing hot tub room. You will not find a finer untouched location. Everything you need to relax and unwind. I will be going back and reluctantly leave this feedback because I don,t want everyone to know about this place because it was so great. This has the WOW factor.

“Absolutely brilliant!!”

As soon as we walked through the door we were really impressed by the luxurious, immaculate accommodation. First rate quality throughout the house with brilliant views out over the dales. Loved the hot tub! Emma and the team were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We've already booked to return next year and can't wait to go back. Can't recommend it enough!

“Amazing Barn, ideal for group get togethers!”

What an amazing place. I booked the barn for my bestfriends hen party. The barn did not disappoint. It was fabulous inside. All the detail make is all that more amazing. On entering the barn we were hit by the smell of scented candles, a bottle of sparkiling wine and a bowl of fruit. Its the little things that count. The place is stunning. The road to access the barn is a bit bumpy but just drive slowly and I guarantee the barn is worth it.

“Can't wait to book again”

What a place Bookilber Barn is! From the moment you pull into the drive to the minute you close the gate behind you as you leave you feel & see the level of work that has gone into making it something special. When we first started down the long bumpy road I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much & poor car (a mini) was less than impressed but we stuck with it and had such a wonderful weekend. It's the little touches that matter , when we arrived we opened the door and scented candles filled the air, there was a bottle of fizz on the counter and fresh flowers throughout. Throughout this house there is ample room for all (12 of us) and each corner is finished to such high standards. The grounds are beautiful and the views are stunning, we spent plenty of hours in the hot tub watching the sunset. It was the perfect retreat with something for all. Thank you for having us and we look forward to coming back.

“Can I not give more than 5 stars!?”

Where do I start? My partner, daughter and I were first of our group to arrive and to say we were gobsmacked would be an understatement! Absolutely perfect in every way and set in the beautiful countryside. The 12 of us made good use of the barbecue and hot tub area during our weekend stay and the barn it's self was far spacious enough for us all. The bedrooms were immaculate and lounge space was beautiful. A cot was supplied for our daughter and we loved the little touches... Teddies on the bed, candles lit and sparkling rosé on our arrival and well stocked shelves of family games and books. I particularly enjoyed looking through the history of the barn and how it was rebuilt in 1996. The owners should be so proud! Amazing! Wish we could stay every weekend!

“Magical Luxury Place”

We were part of a group of adult Anglo / American couples that spent a week at the Bookilber Barn. The property is accessed by a two mile bumpy, gravel lane through open fields with not another property in sight. This caused us to question if we were on the right route even though the directions warned us about the access lane. Then all of a sudden this wonderful stone barn appears. It looks nice from the outside. When you step inside you find that you have entered into the world of an imaginative interior designer. The Bookilber Barn is a first class set up. Everything is top drawer. One fact you need to be aware of is that only four of the six bedrooms are suitable for adult couples. This fact was made clear on the owner's web-site but it was not clear on the Sykes Cottages web-site at the time of our booking.

“Wow - Just Wow - the photos don't do it justice”

This was a perfect holiday let for large groups. All bedrooms are of a good size or Enormous in some cases and the downstairs living space was lovely and also large. The large hot tub was especially welcome as we had a wet weekend and didn't venture out too much. The decor of the place is amazing and obviously professionally done and with no expense spared. The whole place has a very luxurious feel about it. The only downside was the 2 mile potholed farm track to the property, but that became an adventure in itself. Emma from Bossdean was very helpful and informative and we were greeted with 2 bottles of bubbly - Bonus !! Would highly recommend it

About the location

SETTLE

Malham 6 miles; Skipton 17 miles; Kendal 25 miles.

The bustling market town of Settle lies at the south west rim of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, nestled beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain - a region of scars, cliffs, caves and potholes - amongst some of the most picturesque scenery in North Yorkshire. Tuesday is market day in Settle, when the square is filled with stalls offering a wide variety of crafts and goods. The market place is surrounded by local businesses, the centre being dominated by The Shambles, an historic three storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall. There is a good selection of restaurants and pubs and a public swimming pool. The Victoria Hall has entertainment and other activities such as folk nights throughout the year. The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway crosses some of the most beautiful and inspiring upland scenery in the country. Natural attractions such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are within easy reach, as are the nearby Dales towns of Skipton and Malham. Settle is in the midst of excellent walking country and is a good base for touring the Dales, the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland.
